the pediatrician convinced him

why DH didn't care to listen to my research about organic milk and ERF, i don't know. now that he's heard it out of the pediatrician's mouth, he's on board. seriously - why do i even read up on this stuff?

What did your ped say? We are all on board the organic milk train in this house. The growth hormones and antibiotics in regular milk skeeves me out! Even though it is twice the money, I think it's totally worth it. But curious what your doctor said.

My hubby just quits fighting me on it...but he is the same way...its hard to get him to go to the doc appts since they are always during his work days. But we have started counseling and low and behold, all the stuff I have been saying for the last 2 years finally makes sense now that the counselor said it...UGH...could have avoided two years of misery and a separation if he would just listen once in awhile.

Too bad your DHs can't go to appts with you.. I schedule Jacob's appt at the end of the day so DH can come, plus it helps me only take an hour of vacation time, rather than a half day or something. DH has been to every appt since birth :)

We just do regular whole milk, but Jacob eats yobaby yogurt which has organic whole milk, so he's getting a little in. :) I'm not crunchy or even slightly. I never ate a whole lot of green veggies, drank regular milk, had all my vaxes, and i'm totally fine. I'm giving Jacob veggies (non organic, thoroughly washed), he doesn't like them but I keep trying.

Nessa...my dh is just like yours. The other night I was trying to get my dh to watch a video on why rearfacing is safer, and he said, "Thats ok, I don't need to watch it." Then, I said "we will rearface until he's 4." he says "ok, whatever you think is safer. thats fine." I feel like I make all the decisions as far as our LO goes, and he just trusts me and goes with it. I guess that can be a good thing in a way, but its also a bit irritating. lol

pediatrician said organic whole milk all the way. she said there's no way to know how many antibiotics and hormones were injected into the female cows the milk came from. the cows are often not kept very healthy because they can just jack them up with medicines - all which transfer into the milk. a study in 2000 showed this may be why girls are getting their periods as early as 8 and 9 years old these days... the transfer of hormones in dairy and meat.
